I was reading the instructions on my new powerhead last night and it says its only to be used with a CGFI outlet. I know saftey first yadda yadda yadda. Is this a golden rule or just something in the instructions for liability sake? And if I do need to install a CGFI is it something a non-electrician could handle? I assume by looks of it its just turning power off to the circuit, pulling the old outlet, hooking the wires up to the CGFI outlet and sticking it back in the wall.

you dont even have to do that. since i live in an apartment, i cant do that, so i just bought a gfci power strip. I have one in the stands of my 150g and 55g and one on the counter beside my two 10g's... Theyre not much more than the outlets and dont require any wiring
